ElvUI Shadow & Light

Shadow & Light is an external edit of ElvUI, which means it doesn't change ElvUI's files directly.
What does this mean to you?
It means that any time ElvUI gets updated, you will not have to worry about it overwriting our edited version of ElvUI. It also means if we push an update it will not mess with any ElvUI files. This addon can not be used without ElvUI installed and enabled.

Originally this project started as two personal edits of ElvUI by Darth Predator and I (Repooc). For technical support reasons and other reasons as well, we have moved to a combined effort on this external edit of the ElvUI. Shadow & Light does not disable or hinder the normal function of ElvUI but does add additional features that are not yet implemented or will not be added to ElvUI.
You'll find Shadow & Light options under it's own configuration category in ElvUI's config section by typing /ec

Due to a lot of things to take care of IRL we don't have a lot of time for working on S&L lately and regularly release new versions. Tickets are still fixed as fast as we can but sometimes we just don't have time for anything but simple fixing. Thus not releasing stuff for considerable time.
That's why we would suggest to keep an eye for alpha versions. Latest alpha is always available for download here.

Technical Support:
If you have any questions or concerns, we want to hear about it. You are welcome to post it via the Ticket System.

Darth Predator and I will do our best to address everyone's concern. We typically need some information from you other than the problem you are having. Before posting, PLEASE, make sure you are running the latest version of Shadow & Light as well as ElvUI and that you <b>DISABLE ALL</b> addons except for those two and try to reproduce the issue. It is important that you do that so we can narrow down what is causing the problem in the first place.

Information to provide when posting:
1.) Shadow & Light Version
2.) ElvUI Version
3.) Provide lua errors
4.) Provide a screenshot if possible
5.) Detailed description of the issue on when it happens, how it happens, whatever you did to reproduce it.
6.) Just to be clear, Disable ALL Addons except for ElvUI and Shadow & Light
With that said, happy gaming and enjoy the addon!

Hi
Wanted to ask times, if I umbastle your UI, then I need an authorization to publish it?

LG

You need authorization to publish our addon and at this time I can't think of anyone we have given permission to include our addon as a compiled download and ask to be linked to Curse, WoWInterface, or the Tukui sites for downloads of Shadow & Light.

You are absolutely right, that is my mistake. After double checking and disabling customtweaks, I was able to change the option. Please chalk this up to user error, and sorry about the bother!

Tech Support Info - Located at the bottom of the main page on there that links to the ticket system we use (TICKET SYSTEM HERE)

We have required information needed for troubleshooting also listed at the bottom of the page

To answer the question why the option was grayed out... Because you have ElvUI CustomTweaks enabled, so when you said you just had ElvUI and S&L must have not been the case as you had other stuff enabled (Anything with ElvUI in the name still needs to be disabled except ElvUI and ElvUI Config to help isolate the issues)

As for the error you received, that looks to have come from ElvUI Custom Tweaks addon so you might want to contact Blaze on that

I can't seem to find the reason why. I've reinstalled just Elvui and Shadow and Light and had nothing else enabled besides buggrabber and bugsack, and I don't see any errors.

I don't see any option in base ElvUI to enable this as well.

And when I force change Chat Max Messages with ElvUI_CustomTweaks (with just that, ElvUI, and Shadow and Light) enabled I get the following LUA error (which seems to be a error with customtweaks, but I guess no one else really seems to have an issue with the option)
